SOUTH HADLEY - A pursuit that started in Holyoke ended in South Hadley, when a motorist struck another car by Family Pizza on Newton Street (Route 116).

Holyoke Police Sgt. John P. Hart said the chase began just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday on Veterans Bridge. The motorist, Robert Parker, 29, of 118 Hendon Drive, Feeding Hills, refused to stop for Holyoke police, and continued into South Hadley, he said.

Hart said police were attempting to stop Parker for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

After the crash, Parker got out of his 1995 Pontiac and fled, but was apprehended after a short pursuit, Hart said.

A state police helicopter also responded. Parker was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield. He was charged with failure to stop for police, driving at a speed greater than reasonable and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle by Holyoke police.

Hart said South Hadley police has additional charges against Parker. South Hadley police would only say that the incident is under investigation. The driver of the car that Parker struck had minor injuries, Hart said.

Hart said an employee of the pizza shop helped subdue Parker, who almost struck several pedestrians with his car. Parker is expected to be arraigned Monday in Holyoke District Court.
